Welcome. I'm Jim Kelly and I write crime mysteries. My first series is set in Ely, in the Fens, and features journalist Philip Dryden and his side-kick Humph. The books won a Dagger In The Library. Now I've started a new detective series set in North Norfolk.

I hope you enjoy the site. I'd love to hear from anyone whose read the books and wants to share thoughts / problems / opinions or just get in touch. You can contact me here
